Summit 9

I got to go to Christian Alliance for Orphans Summit 9 in Nashville last week. This was my 3rd year to go to the Summit. I love being with so many people with the same heart and see and hear the different ways people have and are making a difference for children without families.

 I actually got to do a conversation room breakout where I got to share what we are doing in our church with our work in the group homes.

On the last day before we caught our plane back to Phoenix, some friends and I walked around downtown Nashville. It was cold and rainy. Two things we are not used to in Phoenix. We made the best of it. I did change my clothes in the airport though, I was soaked.

Neat old building. Marathon Motors. They made cars from 1907 to 1910.
